I grew up in North Palm Beach, Florida where I was fortunate to enjoy surfing, boating, fishing, scuba diving, riding motorcycles, and racing cars at Palm Beach International Raceway. In 1968 I traveled with Cast C of the Up With People musical group, including a three months tour performing all over Italy. After returning to Florida I joined the United States Air Force as an aircraft mechanic, beginning a long career in aviation. During my active duty I spent some time in 1969 and 1970 in Vietnam and later was assigned to the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron's Hurricane Hunters for two years in Puerto Rico. A few years after leaving active duty I joined the Air Force Reserves in 1977 as a C-130 Flight Engineer for three years. Then from 1980 to 1989 I managed maintenance bases for several freight airlines on large turbo prop and jet aircraft in Missouri, Utah, Arizona, and Texas until I was finally hired as an Aviation Safety Inspector with the Federal Aviation Administration at DFW Airport, Texas, until retirement in January of 2010. I currently live in Spring Hill, Florida and enjoy Caribbean cruises and scuba diving. My travels brought me to places in about 25 different countries and through parts of all 50 states, of which I lived for a time in 5 of them. I resided the longest in the Dallas/Fort Worth area of Texas and I can say I truly miss Texas, but I don't miss the tornadoes.
"Falling From A Cloud" is a Fiction based on a real safety issue affecting all aircraft. It begins with a dreadful B-767 airline disaster that kills 196 people in a remote area in the Sand Hills of central Nebraska. It then follows Jack Harper, the lead NTSB investigator, on a daunting investigation to find the cause of the crash. After searching for the "smoking gun" he eventually believes he finds the cause but the Chairman of the NTSB refuses to divulge the real cause, but David Anderson the Assistant Principal Maintenance Inspector of Great Northern Airlines, who is barred from participating in the investigation of the same airline he oversee, gets involved and eventually discovers the real cause, one that the major airlines and the FAA doesn't want anyone to know about. Find out what dirty little secrets jeopardize your safety every time you fly.
The book has a surprise ending and it's not all about the fictional story in the book, it will hopefully wake up the aviation industry and the FAA to see a real problem that exist and to stop shoveling things under the rug.
